TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1009.
No on can say any more that the
foresters aro behind tho times. That
trip which they took into tho northern
woods niUBt have bad a happy effect
upon some of them.
All over tho Uulted States and espe
cially in the universities of tho land,
Lincoln's birthday Is being celebrated
thlB year In a way befitting tho char''
actor of a man who died for noble
Iddals. Tho fact that next Friday is
tho hundredth anniversary of his
birth gives tho date oven added sig
nificance. Whllo tho mind of the avor
ngo porson,. howover naturally turns
towards Lincoln, the scientific man
thinks of another mastor mind that
also was born exnetly one hundred

yenrs ago next Friday. ThlB other
man was Dnnvin. In view of these
facts, Tho Dally Nobraakan will Issue
a number devoted exclusively to a
commemoration of tho life and deeds
of these two great men on next Fri
day. It Is felt by tho staff that noth
ing could bo more appropriate than
that tho university paper should Btop,
for at least one day, to take duo no
tice of tho achievements of two noble
lives.
The aqtion of the Innocent's In ask'
lng the deans that commencement ox
erclses may take pluco during the
last regular week of school and before
the undergraduates have left for
homo Is an action that 1b deserving
of tho greatest success. It is doubt
ful if moro than one-tenth of tho
seniors In each graduating class who
do not live In Lincoln, havo over at
tended commencement exorcises be
fore they thomselves are called upon
to take part. This condition of af
fairs is npt as it should be. Com
mencement week should be a timo
when all the students of the school
should take part and when for once
the student body should be moved, by
similar feelings and desires. It must
be true thai if the deans seriously
undertake it they will be able to And

A CONTEMPTIBLE ATTITUDE.
Howover much wo may hate to ad
mit It, tho fact oxlBtB that there Is a
great deal of dishonesty among the
students Qf tho University of Nebras
ka. Small articles, of Uttlo real value
in themselves, are not safe at all If
loft from under lock und key. It would
bo expected by those who are unac
quainted with actual conditions tlv.it
such actions woild be conllned to the
boys, but as a mutter of fact, they
exist to an equally groat extent among
both the hoys and girls of the uni
versify.
Words are not strong enough to ex
press tho feelings which tho members
of the student body should hnvo for
those few who aro so lacking In the
commonest elements of fair play that
they aro not only willing to blacken
tho name of the university, but of tho
student body na well In their efforts
to acquire a few pennies. Such ac
tions aro nothing moro than con
temptible cowardice. A person who
will stoop to stalling a fountain pen
from another person while his back is
turned has not sufficient backbone to
over succeed in making even a fairly
respectable criminal, much loss to
perform a useful part In the frame
work of society.
It requires only the low and con
temptible traits of human character
to mako a porson who is capable of
such actions A successful criminal

If ho is not honest, but all that Is re

to eslst among the student body is nil
absolute lack of the commonest ele
ments of decency, and an absolute
Immunity from all feelings of BhamO.
It is time that student opinion be
came so arousod that the small
thieveries which havo been taking
place shall no longer be possible. In
tho face of a united .public fooling.
Mich a coward as a person who would
do such things must be, would no
longer daro to stay in tho university,
or If ho did, would not dare to con
tinue his criminal activities. It Is
lime that evoryono should know that
tho students of the university have as
thorough disgust for a coward and a
thief as any other community In the
state.
RETORT COURTEOU8.
For several years the relations be
tween the Universities of Michigan
and Chicago have not been all that
would naturally be expected of two
sister Institutions. It has seemed to
bo tho greatest pleasure which either
school has been able to obtain to take
a sly dig at the other. The following
editorial which appeared rocently In
the Chicago Dally Marcon shows that
the fun goes merrily on. Tho edi
torial Is as follows:
"After three disastrous years of at-

tempts to brenk Into Eastern athletic
circles, Michigan in returning sadder
but wiser to hei home in tho West,
watching anxiously for any smiles or
any "I told you so'b" from the Con
ference, as she slips cautiously In by
tho back door. If, aB seems the nat
ural Inference, Michigan's decision to
play Minnesota next year means she
Ib feeling her way back to tho Con
ference, tho members of tho Confer
ence Bhould do what they can to ease
any Bonse of humiliation her return
may involve. It 1b a very difficult
matter for a collego to demount from
as lofty a horse as Michigan ascended
throe years ago, and at tho samo time
maintain any dignity. In courtesy to
her, 'we should all turn our backs
wnile sho does the deed.
"Once she has agreed to tho princi
ple and justice of majority rule In
such an organization aB the Confer
ence, there can bo no doubt of the
cordial welcome Michigan will receive
by the othor great Western universi
ties. Chicago can not take quite the
pleasure In defeating nny other uni
versity that she does in besting the
Wolverines, and we do not hesltato
to give Michigan tho satisfaction ot
informing her that her presenco 'has
been missed in almost all departments
of athletics."
ARRANGES PEACE PROGRAM.
Judge Frost and Hon. J. L. Webster
Will Deliver Addresses.
That the peace program which was
Btarted as an annual event last year
will become a permanent feature at

nouueed yesterday. Last year an hour
was given to the special convocation
and William Jennings liryan was the
pricipal speaker This year Judge
Lincoln Frost of Lincoln and Hon.
J. L. Webster of Omnlm will im tin
speakers.
Tho idea of having annual peace
programs at the different American
colleges had its origin at tho Lake
Mohonk peace conference, for the pro
motion of International arbitration.
At this conference tho Idea was con
ceived of asking all American col
legOB, in tho Interest of world peace,
to set aBlde an hour each year for
the discussion by prominent men of
tho problems of peaco. Many col
legos havo complied with this request
and last year for tho first time such
a program was given at Nebraska.
The peace program this year will
bo given February 23 at eloven o'clock
In Memorial hall. The entire hour
from eleven to twelve will be devoted
to this purpose. It Is not considered
likely that any student will bo asked
to take part In the program thlB year,
as was done in the past, ub it would
mako it impossible for tho principal
speakers to have as much timo as
they desire.
